Higher Social Security Payroll Tax Sought in House Panel
A House Ways and Means subcommittee tentatively calls for higher payroll taxes especially on higher paid workers and employers to pull Social Security from red. The plan would raise tax rate and maximum earnings, with potential contributions rising by 1982 and a possible $3,300 max by 1990. Public review continues with full committee action and Senate consideration.
